5. Details and Background Questions (p. 37)

6. Advancement: after each session expect to receive 75 to 150 XP, with +100-250 XP at the
end of an adventure (p. 264). Completing a career requires level advances (5 x career tier, ie. level
3 tier is 15 advances) in (1) 8 career level skills, (2) all career level attributes, and (3) 1 Talent from
current career level.
Advances Attribute Skill Other XP

A. Starting at higher levels

400 xp is enough to start at level 2 in a career, or advance to a different same-class career. This
completes all 15 pts. in required Attributes, all +5 in career skills, 1 talent, and the new career XP
cost. 500 XP would be a complete career plus a second Talent or +10 (not merely +5) in two first
level career skills.
1000 XP is enough to start well into the second career.
Combat Rules
1. Initiative: Everyone goes in Initiative characteristic order. (Or roll, if succeed, go before
enemies, if fail, go after)
2. Turn: each may Move (2x Move in yards) and take an Action, and as many Free Actions
(talking, drawing a weapon, etc.) as DM says reasonable. Actions:
a. Melee Attack: roll opposed Melee Weapon (WS) tests. If attacker gets higher SL,
hit and +1 Advantage. If defender wins, +1 Advantage and attacker done.
b. Ranged Attack: roll Ranged test, if hit and +1 Advantage. Target may oppose with
Melee, if have Shield or may oppose with Dodge. Bonus/penalties for Size (-
20/0/+20/+40) (p. 162)
c. Full Move = Move x 4 in yards; Charge up to full Move if go at least Move yards.
d. Cast Spell: Languages – Magick and Channeling
3. Damage:
a. If hit, determine location (reverse ones and tens) and Damage = Weapon Dam. +
SL – (Toughness Bonus + Armor Points)
Roll Location
01–09 Head
10–24 Left Arm (or Secondary
Arm)
25–44 Right Arm (or Primary
Arm)
45–79 Body
80–89 Left Leg
90–00 Right Leg
b. Critical hits = roll on Charts (174-78). If below 0 wounds, also roll on Chart.
c. Death = 0 wounds, unconscious, and critical wounds value > Toughness bonus
d. Healing:
4. Advantage
a. Each 1 Advantage point = +10 attack and resist influence (WP) rolls; optional
maximum = Initiative Bonus or 10. Track with Die.
b. Lose advantage when miss/lose roll, are Wounded, and when combat ends.
(Optional: Decreases 1 point per round not gained)
c. +1 advantage: surprise, Charging, tactical advantage, win opposed combat, win
sneak attack
5. Fate, Fortune, Resilience, Resolve
a. Fate/Fortune: Fortune spend to reroll, regain at next session. Fate permanently
spend to avoid death through plausible explanation (how did he miss?!)
b. Resilience/Resolve: spend Resolve to become immune to Psychology, ignore mods
from Critical Wounds, or remove a Condition; spend Resilience permanently to
ignore a chaos mutation or to choose a die roll result (any).
6. Common Situations
 a. Shields: May oppose ranged attacks with WS (Melee), +1 SL to all defensive
opposed WS (Melee) rolls to stop attacks, +Shield to AP body and arm. House Rule:
Only adds SL when successful check.
b. Outnumbered: 2:1 on opponent is +20, 3:1 is +40 WS.
c. Two-weapon fighting: only attack once, secondary hand -20 attack (ambi negates),
may attack 2x if Dual Wielder Talent (use inverse numbers of same roll to hit).
d. Mounted Combat: Move = Mount, Rider’s Melee + 20 attack and Charge may use
Mount’s Strength/Size for Damage (Horse Str = 45). Either Rider (-10) or Mount
may be targeted. Mount may attack Engaged targets unless Skittish Trait
e. Impact weapons (two-handed, firearms): add ones digit to damage
f. Impale weapons: critical on 10s as well as doubles
7. Conditions: p. 167
a. Broken: must run away every round, -10 tests except running/hiding; Cool test at
end of round after being Disengaged, each SL removes 1 Broken level; gain 1
Fatigue after broken done
b. Ablaze: 1d10-AP W per round (+1W per Ablaze level)
c. Fatigue: -10 tests until rest
d. Poisoned: -1W per round, -10 all tests until pass Endurance or Healed
8. Fear/Terror: Need WP (Cool) SL equal to Fear level, or -1 SL to all tests near creature and
WP (Cool) test to approach. Terror: Cool test or Broken = Terror level plus the negative
SLs. (Note: Creature size differences can create Fear and Terror)
Casting Rules
1. To cast a spell, must have the requisite Talent (e.g. Petty Magick, Arcane Lore), which
determines what spells you have.
2. Roll Languages – Magick test, need SL = CN (Casting Number) of the spell.
3. If Critical Cast, roll on the Miscast tables (p. 234) (unless have Intuitive Diction Talent)
and choose an additional effect:
a. Critical Cast: If the spell causes Damage, it also inflicts a Critical Wound. See page
172 for details.
b. Total Power: The spell is cast, no matter its CN and your rolled SL, but can be
Dispelled.
c. Unstoppable Force: If you scored enough SL to cast your spell, it cannot be
Dispelled.
4. Channeling: For spells with higher CN, can attempt to achieve the success level with a
Channeling (WP) test. Each channeling SL provides 1 CN, and Channeling can occur over
multiple rounds.
a. After meeting the Spell’s CN through Channel, make Casting Roll next round with
a CN 0 needed.
b. If Critical Channeling, spell is cast immediately but also roll on Minor Mishap table
(unless have Aethyric Attunement Talent).
c. If Fumble, roll immediately on Major Mishap table. If Interrupted (damaged, etc.),
roll a -20 Cool test or lose the spell and suffer a Minor Mishap.
5. Spell Components (Ingredients) – absorb 1 level of miscast.
6. Dispelling: may make an opposed Languages – Magick test to stop another casting of a
spell, negating one opposed SL per round.
